🦵 Your Immune System Can Attack Your Muscles After a Simple Infection
A condition known as Guillain-Barré Syndrome can cause the body’s immune system to mistakenly attack the nerves, often after a mild illness like a cold or stomach bug.
- It can begin with tingling in the feet or hands
- In severe cases, it can lead to temporary paralysis
- Most people recover—but it can take months or even years
